The latest single from the 28-year-old raven haired singer is outselling the rest of the Top 10 combined.
‘YAY UK! A week early & by popular demand you can be louder than a lion! Finally, It’s your turn to ROAR!’ she announced on Twitter earlier this week as the single’s release date was brought forward.
Roar is the lead single from Perry’s hotly anticipated fourth album, Prism – due to be released on October 22.
The track has already performed well around the world – romping to the top of the charts in a number of countries and beating off stiff competition from Lady Gaga’s Applause.

She changes her mind like a girl changes clothes, but Katy Perry’s decision to bring the release date of her latest single, Roar, forward by a week seems to be paying off: The California gurl is on course for her fourth Number 1 single this weekend, and a huge one at that!
According to the latest Official Charts Company sales data, nearly 103,000 copies of Roar have been purchased in the UK up to midnight last night. If its momentum continues, Katy not only looks set to top the Official Singles Chart on Sunday, but Roar could become one of the fastest selling singles of 2013 so far. Avicii’s Wake Me Up currently holds the title after shifting more than 266,000 copies in its first week on sale in July, while Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines FT TI and Pharrell Williams sold nearly 191,000 copies, week one, back in May.
Roar is the first track to be lifted from Katy’s upcoming fourth studio album, Prism, which is released in the UK on October 21. Her last album, 2010’s Teenage Dream (including the deluxe edition, Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection), set a new Official Chart record for the most amount of Top 10 singles from one studio album by a female solo artist. Her peers, Lady Gaga and Jessie J, are joint second with six Top 10s each from their debut albums, The Fame and Who You Are.
